For the Airbus A340-500 the situation is even worse. Certainly compared to the Boeing 777-200LR.The A340-500 all go out of service.Emirates
uses them on short flights to Beirut, Athens and Munich. Emirates
certainly doesn't care about the high cycles, which they would if it was
a more efficient airliner. These short hops aren't what Airbus had in
mind for the the 340-500.
